Thanks, started breaking down the front axle, I'll get it removed tomorrow and start the cleaning process, and prep the springs for new bushings. Time to order a new Terrain Tamer knuckle kit for the Disc brake conversion. @orangefj45
Ron will advise you should only run Budweiser in there.
I will be curious to see what is in the kit!

Pretty much comes with everything you need, They even upgrade to the Marlin duel inner axle seals, Spent a few hours getting the 54 years of dirt and oil sludge cleaned off the front axle. Over the next few days I will finish cleaning and prep for paint. So much cleaning LOL we want to do it right
Bud cleans out everything.
Fork truck for the win!

Spent sometime back on the 55, I pulled the original 3rd and man what a mess LOL After pulling out a few sets I found a nice pair of 3:73's I will be installing. I miss my old Road trips and the 55 will be taking the place of the 45. I have some future adventures planned to I want a nice freeway drive. I was also able after taking my time get the broken studs out of the exhaust manifold flange and re tap the threads WINNING ! This week we have some weather coming in so most of my time will be spent cleaning.

Last couple of days I finished getting the new 3:73 3rd installed in the axle housing, Finished getting the intake and exhaust manifolds cleaned and prepped. The springs looked ok I went ahead and pulled them apart installed new center pins and painted them. The new spring bushings from Cruiser Outfitters came in today Thanks @cruiseroutfit Chance knows his stuff.

Got around to getting a few things done. The massive piece of angle iron welded to the frame was a PITA. It was the support bracket for the snow plow. I did some scraping and a little with the wire wheel underneath. That got old quick so Wendy helped me get the 55 set up to rent a serious power washer tomorrow. Right now I a just working to get everything clean and replace any gaskets and seals I can get to without pulling the motor and trans.

Had a good day giving the Pig a power wash. Most everything cleaned up pretty good. I am leaving for Texas so next week I will start replacing gaskets on the motor when I get back.
